Boxing promoter Skyy Myles and streaming provider BLK Prime Boxing filed a federal copyright lawsuit against Blueface, alleging he illegally livestreamed Chrisean Rock’s professional boxing debut on his verified Kick channel and let tens of thousands of viewers watch the $29.99 pay-per-view event for free.
TMZ reported Sept. 25 that the complaint accuses Blueface of streaming the fight for more than an hour without authorization. Chrisean Rock, who fights under the name “Holy Hands,” won her professional debut by second-round TKO over Ku’Shiyah Williams, a result independently confirmed by combat sports outlet Bloody Elbow on Sept. 20.
Chrisean Rock’s path to the pro ring
Chrisean Rock’s move into professional boxing had been promoted under the “Holy Hands” billing ahead of the fight, and her win over Williams marked her first result as a licensed professional boxer rather than in an exhibition setting. The bout was distributed exclusively through BLK Prime Boxing’s pay-per-view platform at the $29.99 price point named in the lawsuit, which is the commercial arrangement the complaint says Blueface’s stream undercut.
What the lawsuit alleges happened on stream
During the broadcast, music manager Wack 100 appeared on camera alongside Blueface, and the complaint alleges the two told viewers on air that they did not need to pay for the pay-per-view to watch. The lawsuit states the unauthorized stream drew “tens of thousands of viewers,” according to the complaint, though it does not provide an exact figure, leaving the precise scale of the alleged infringement to be established later in the case.
The suit also alleges the stream took place amid a financial and personal dispute between Blueface and Chrisean Rock, who share a co-parenting relationship. The complaint does not specify further details of that dispute in the portions reported publicly, and neither Blueface nor Chrisean Rock has offered additional public comment tying the alleged stream directly to any personal grievance beyond what the complaint itself states.
Doing the math on the alleged losses
The complaint’s own language, “tens of thousands of viewers,” gives a rough sense of what an unauthorized stream at this scale could mean in bypassed sales, even without an official damages figure attached to the case yet. If even 20,000 people watched Blueface’s stream instead of paying for the $29.99 broadcast, that would represent close to $600,000 in potential lost pay-perview revenue for the fight’s promoters and streaming partner. At 50,000 viewers, the figure would approach $1.5 million.
Those numbers are illustrative estimates built from the complaint’s own description of viewership, not a confirmed damages total, and any actual award a court might grant would also account for legal fees and lost profits beyond ticket price alone, which is why the complaint itself leaves the total damages figure unspecified rather than naming a number upfront.
Why an unauthorized livestream is a copyright problem
Pay-per-view boxing events are typically licensed to a single distributor, in this case BLK Prime Boxing, which controls who is authorized to broadcast the fight and charges viewers directly for access. Rebroadcasting that feed on a separate platform without a license, even briefly, cuts into the pool of viewers who would otherwise have paid for the official stream, which is the harm copyright law in this area is designed to address.
Live sports broadcasts are especially difficult to protect in real time, since a takedown request filed against an unauthorized stream often cannot stop the viewing before the broadcast has already ended, which is part of why promoters pursue lawsuits after the fact rather than relying solely on platform takedowns to recover losses from a single incident.
Blueface’s channel on the streaming platform Kick carried a verification badge, according to the complaint, meaning the unauthorized broadcast reached an audience through an account the platform itself had recognized as an established, high-traffic channel rather than an anonymous or newly created one.
The attorney’s statement
Plaintiffs’ attorney Charles Lew said the alleged conduct stood out even by the standards of copyright disputes he has handled. “In my entire career, I have never seen such a blatant and brazen disregard for copyright,” Lew said, adding that his clients intend to enforce “our clients’ well-established rights.”
Myles and BLK Prime Boxing, the entities behind the pay-per-view broadcast, are seeking damages covering lost sales, lost profits and legal fees tied to the alleged unauthorized rebroadcast. The suit does not specify a total dollar amount sought.
What happens next in the case
Federal copyright cases of this kind typically proceed through a discovery phase in which the plaintiffs can seek records tied to the stream, including viewership data from Kick itself, to establish a more precise count of how many people watched the unauthorized broadcast rather than paid for it. That kind of platform-level data, if obtained, could sharpen the rough viewership estimates described in the complaint into a more exact damages calculation than either side has stated publicly so far.
No response from Blueface
Neither Blueface nor his representatives responded to TMZ’s requests for comment on the lawsuit as of the outlet’s Sept. 25 report. The case remains pending in federal court, and no hearing date had been reported as of this writing.
Chrisean Rock’s professional debut victory, a second-round stoppage of Williams, is not in dispute in the litigation. The lawsuit concerns solely how the fight was distributed and viewed, not the outcome inside the ring, and it does not name Chrisean Rock herself as a party to the copyright claim.
